     Some people take lots of exercise. Others keep strict diets. But according to   recent research, the
best way to live a long and happy life is simple. Get a dog.  
     "We have known for many years that the company of a pet can increase  
well-being in a number of ways. " says Dr. Bonnie Beaver, an animal behavior  
specialist at Texas University.  
     "For example, the survival rates of heart attack victims with pets are much greater than those of
people without pets."  
     According to Dr. Beaver, pet owners are less likely to need a doctor. They recover more quickly
when they do get ill. They have lower blood pressure,take more exercise and are more socially active.  
     Above all, they are happier. Seventy percent of the families Dr. Beaver surveyed said that their family
environment was happier after they got a pet. And this is what Dr. Beaver and other researchers are
trying to achieve. They want to find a scientific link between human happiness and a long life.  
     There is no final answer to this question yet, but it seems to be something to do withemotional ties.
People with someone or something to love live longer. "There are many forms of animal-human
relationship and some are very helpful." says Dr Beaver. It seems that the more lovely an animal is, the
more it benefits our health.  As the saying goes, "If you want to be loved, get a dog."  
     Pet ownership benefits men and women equally. Other life experiences divide the sexes. Women
are more sensitive to bad marriages than their husbands because they work harder at their relationship,
says Dr. Janice Glaser of Ohio State University.
     The message seems to be that a woman is better off with a good dog than a bad husband. Yet in
some ways, men are similar to dogs. They like getting dirty and making a mess. They forget birthdays.
They can disappear for days. How can they be better trained?  

1. According to the author, the companyofa pet does good to a person in the  
    following ways except __________.  
     A. having less chance of dying of heart attacks  
     B. being more active in society  
     C. having their familyliving environment improved  
     D. being better off than others  

2. It can be inferred from the article that _______.  
     A. a woman may prefer to have the company of a good dog than that of a bad husband  
     B. scientists are sure about the relationship between happiness and a long life  
     C. all life experience has a different effect onmen and women  
     D. women can benefit more from owning a pet than men can  

3. In what kind of tone do you think the author write the passage?  
     A. Realistic and serious.            
     B. Delighted and hopeful.  
     C. Angry and pitiful.                
     D. Light and humorous.  

4. Which ofthe following do you think would be the best title of the passage?  
     A. Relation between Humans and Pets  
     B. Four legs Good, Two Legs Bad  
     C. Love me, love my dog.  
     D. Pets and Family Life

     My house is made out of wood,glass and stone. It is also made out of software.  
     If you come to visit, you'll probably be surprised when you come in someone will give you an
electronic PIN (个人身份号码) to wear. This PIN tells the house who and where you are. The
house uses this information to give you what you need. When it's dark outside, the PIN turns on
the lights nearest to you, and then turns them off as you walk away from them. Music moves with
you too. If the house knows your favorite music, it plays it. The music seems to be everywhere, but
in fact other people in the house hear different music or no music. If you get a telephone call, only the
nearest telephone rings.  
     Of course, you are also able to tell the house if you want something. There is a home control console,
a small machine that turns things on and off around you.  
     The PIN and the console are new ideas, but they are in fact like many things we have today. If you
want to go to a movie, you need a ticket. If I give you my car keys, you can use my car. The car works
for you because you have the keys. My house works for you because you wear the PIN or hold the
console.  
     I believe that ten years from now, most new homes will have the systems that I've put in my house.
The systems will probably be even bigger and better than the ones I've put in today.  
     I like to try new ideas. I know that some of my ideas will work better than others. But I hope that one
day I will stop thinking of these systems as new, and ask myself  nstead, "How will I live without them?" 
 
1. What does the passage mainly discuss?  
     A. How to develop a new system.  
     B. The function of the PIN  
     C. A home for the future  
     D. Easy life in the future.  

2. What's the purpose when the writer wrote the fourth paragraph?  
     A. To let readers know why his ideas are new  
     B. To explain what the functions of the PIN and the console are  
     C. To explain the importance of the PIN and the console.  
     D. To let readers know how special his house is.  

3. The writer's new house is different from ordinary ones mainly because _______.  
     A. it has your favorite music following you  
     B. you can make a telephone call anywhere  
     C. the writer is able to change his new idea into practice  
     D. it has been controlled by computers  

4. What is the writer most likely to be according to the passage?  
     A. An IT expert        
     B. A famous doctor  
     C. An idealist         
     D. An experienced teacher

     There are many rights to make sure that people will be treated fairly when they are suspected
or accused of a crime. Sometimes these rights are called "due process of law". In using these rights,
a person should have the help of a lawyer.
     You have a right to protect against unreasonable searches and seizures. The police generally
may not search you or your home, or take things you own, without a "warrant". A warrant is a
paper which states, very exactly , the place to be searched and the things to be taken. Sometimes,
however, the police will not need a warrant to search you or your property. If an officer sees you
committing a crime, or if he has a good reason to believe you have committed a serious crime, he
may arrest you and search you and the area right around you without a warrant.
     If you invite a police without a warrant to come into your house and he finds proof of crime,
the evidence may be used against you in court. If you do not want an officer to search you or your
home and he does not have a warrant, tell him that you do not give him the right to search. However,
 if the officer will not listen, do not try to stop him. It is dangerous to resist and it may be illegal to do
so. Any evidence which a policeman gets during an unlawful search and seizure cannot be used against
you.
     Police officers must act reasonably and fairly at all times. They should use physical force only when
it is needed to arrest someone to enforce a law. They may not use physical violence to "teach someone
a lesson".

1.According to the passage, a "warrant" is______.
A. an identification card
B. an access card
C. an official written order
D. a special license
2.In which case can the policeman use the evidence he gets against you in court?
A. He makes an unreasonable search of your home and gets the evidence.
B. He is allowed to search your home with no warrant and finds proof of crime.
C. He gets the information you do not want to give him by using physical force.
D. He obtains the information from you when you are alone with him
3. The police can use physical force only when____.
A. they want to teach the habitual thief a lesson
B. they catch the criminal on the spot
C. the suspect talks back
D. the criminal resists arrest
4. The passage centers around____.
A. the rights of citizens
B. the importance of warrants
C. the duty of the police
D. criminal cases

     If you do not use your arms or your legs for some time, they become weak; when you start
using them again, they slowly become strong again. Everybody knows this, and nobody would
think of questioning this fact.   1   When someone says that he has a good memory, he really
means that he keeps his memory in practice by exercising it regularly, either consciously or
unconsciously. When someone else says that his memory is poor, he really means that he does
not give it enough opportunity to become strong.  2   . One of them exercises his arms and legs
by playing tennis, while the other sits in a chair or a motor car all day.
     If a friend complains that his arms are weak, we know that it is his own fault. But if he tells us
that he has a poor memory, many of us think that his parents are to blame, or that he is just unlucky,
and few of us realize that it is just as much his own fault as if it was his arms or legs that were weak.
   3  . But all of us can, if we have ordinary bodies and brains, improve our strength and our memory
by the same means  practice.
     Have you ever noticed that people who cannot read or write usually have better memories than
those who can?  4   . Of course, because those who cannot read or write have to remember things.
They cannot write them down in a little notebook and they have to remember dates, time and prices,
names, songs and stories, so their memory is the whole time being exercised.
  5  .
A. What do you think of it?
B. Yet many people do not seem to know that the memory works in the same way.
C. Not all of us can become extremely strong or extremely clever.
D. So if you want a good memory, practice remembering.
E. Someone else says that he is poor in health.
F. Why is this?
G. The position is exactly the same as that of two people.

     I used to be tile messiest person alive. Over the years, through watching others and by trial and error,
I have finally found ways to come up with plans, organize them and follow through with them.
     Make an outline of everything you need to have and do to make your plan happen. Make a list of
all of the steps that need to be accomplished and think about what needs to be done.
     Detail everything thoroughly and read over it so you can start coming up with some mental solutions
of how to carry out your plans.
     You should ensure that if for some reason way one doesn't work, you have way two and way three to
lean back on. Therefore, different ways are needed at hand. It's just a matter of being organized.
      Chances are that there is always more than one way of doing things, and chances are that if one of
those ways doesn't work, one of the other ones will.
     Committing yourself to finishing at least part if not all of your plan at once is also necessary. It will
show that you not only have initiative to get things rolling, but that you are interested in the results
obtained with making the move to get everything done.
     If you make a commitment to finish before a specific time, make sure that you carry that out, and be
sure to do everything in the way you said you would, within the time-frame you set for yourself.
     Don't try to tackle more things all at a time. All that does is delay your progress, distract you and
make you lose your interest, motivation and energy.
     Carrying out an effective plan requires being as organized as possible. You will only achieve this by
sticking to the order of the plan and not deviating or trying to do more at a time.
     Last but not the least, you should never abandon things mid-project. It will only annoy everyone
around you including yourself. Unfinished plans are a waste of time, energy and, in some cases, even
money.
     So, don't be afraid of organization. The older we get, the more necessary it becomes to have the skills
necessary to follow through with confidence and to be able to carry through plans in an organized and
manageable way. It pays to be organized, after all.

     A "blogger" is a person who writes on an Internet computer Web site called a "blog". The word "blog"
is a short way of saying web log, or personal Web site. Anyone can start a blog, and they can write about anything they like.
     There are millions of blogs on the Internet today. They provide news, information and ideas to many
people who read them. They contain links to other Web sites. And they provide a place for people to
write their ideas and react to the ideas of others.
     A research company called Perseus has studied more than 3,000 Web logs. It says that blogs are
most popular with teenage girls. They use them to let their friends know what is happening in their lives.
The study also says that more than 100,000 bloggers stopped taking part in the activity after a year.
     However, some people develop serious blogs to present political and other ideas. For example, the
Republican and Democratic parties in the southern state of Kentucky recently started their own blogs.
And American companies are beginning to use blogs to advertise their products.
     At the same time, some long-standing blogs have ended. Last week, blogging leader Dave Winer
closed his free blog service, weblogs.com. He says the site became too costly to continue. He started the
blog four years ago, and thousands of people had written on it.
     One blog that is still going strong is called Rebecca's Pocket. It involves much useful information for
readers. Rebecca Blood created the Web site in 1999. She wrote about the history of blogs on the site.
That article led to a book called "The Weblog Handbook". It has been translated into four languages so
far.
     Ms Blood says Rebecca's Pocket gets about 30,000 visitors a month. She writes about anything and
everything-politics, culture and movies. She recently provided medical advice. And she wrote about how
to prevent people from stealing money from online bank accounts.

1. The text is written mainly to ____.
A. introduce an Internet computer Web site called "blog"
B. introduce a way of reading on blogs
C. tell readers about blogs  
D. tell readers how to write blogs

2. From the text we can learn that blogs cover almost everything except ___.
A. different ideas
B. medical advice  
C. advertisements
D. account codes

3. According to this passage , which of the following is NOT true?
A. Politicians don't use blogs at all
B. A lot of bloggers no longer write or read blogs
C. Those who like to use blogs are mostly teenage girls
D. Dave Winer closed his "weblogs.com" because of money shortage

4. The reason why Rebecca's Pocket is still going strong is that ____.
A. it was created by a woman
B. it provides plenty of useful information and advice
C. it is about the history of books
D. it has editions in at least four different languages

     Being able to multitask-doing several things at the same time-is considered a welcome skill by
most people. But if we consider the situation of the young people aged from eight to eighteen, we should
think again.
     What we often see nowadays is that young people juggle an ever larger number of electronic devices
as they study. While working, they also surf on the Internet, send out emails, answer the telephone and
listen to music on their iPods. In a sense, they are spending a significant amount of time in fruitless efforts
as they multitask.
     Multitasking is even changing the relationship between family members. As young people give so
much attention to their own worlds, they seem to have no time to spend with the other people around
them. They can no longer greet family members when they enter the house, nor can they eat at the family
table.
     Multitasking also affects young people's performance at university and in the workplace. When asked
about their opinion of the effect of modern gadgets on their performance of tasks, many young people
gave a positive response. However, the response from the worlds of education and business was not
quite as positive.
     Educators feel that multitasking by children has a serious effect on later develop-ment of study skills.
They believe that many college students now need help to improve their study skills. Similarly, employers
feel that young people entering the job market need to be taught all over again, as modern gadgets have
made it unnecessary for them to learn special skills to do their work.

1. What does the underlined word "juggle" in Paragraph 2 most probably mean?
A. Want to buy.
B. Take the place of.
C. Use at the same time.
D. Seek for information from.

2. In Paragraph 3, the author points out that  ________.
A. family members do not eat at the family table.
B. family members do not greet each other.
C. young people live happily in their families
D. young people seldom talk with their family members

3. What is the main idea of the last paragraph?
A. multitasking is harmful to young people's development.
B. Young people benefit a lot from modern gadgets.
C. Multitasking is an important skill to young people.
D. Yong people must learn skills for future jobs.

4. The author develops the passage mainly by ________.
A. providing typical examples
B. following the natural time order
C. comparing opinions from different fields
D. presenting a cause and analyzing its effects
